The Jenkins family at RSJ Funeral Directors
The notice for the late Carole Clark was arranged by Liverpool based independent Funeral Directors RSJ Family Funeral Directors.
RSJ Funeral Directors originate from Liverpool’s oldest independent family Funeral Service. They pride themselves on helping families as much as possible offering their services with genuine compassion.
RSJ Family Funeral Directors are an Online Partner of Funeral Notices which means they have chosen us to provide funeral notices on their own website. We also provide them with free online notices to offer to anyone who does not wish to publish a notice in a newspaper, such as in the notice for Carole.
Funeral Notices Account Manager Rob Stebbing has spoken with Richard Jenkins Snr and Richard Jenkins Jnr at RSJ Family Funeral Directors about the Carole Clark notice.
Carole was a friend of Richard Jenkins Snr.
He said: "The amount raised for Sarcoma UK is amazing!
"She was held in such high esteem by her family and friends. She was only 57 when she died but a real fighter".
Donations on our website are administered by our donation partner Donatis. As we work closely with Funeral Directors and the recently bereaved it is important to us that we work with companies who share our values and commitment to supporting people in their grief. Donatis founder Mark Robinson's background is in the funeral industry so he understands first hand what Funeral Directors and their families need.
Mark said:
"The collection in memory of Carole Clark is one of the highest we have ever seen. We have advised Sarcoma UK (the recipient charity) that we are paying them an extra £436.26 - as we are the only collector who caps their admin fee.
"Our fees are capped at £200 max and so the charity have benefitted even more by using us for their collection."
One of the best parts of our jobs with Funeral Notices is seeing the loving tributes added to notices. We are particularly proud when we see an online notice filled with loving tributes and donations in memory. An online notice has the ability to grow to become an everlasting tribute to a loved one.
The generosity of the family and friends of Carole Clark is amazing and has made everyone involved proud of the service we work together to provide for families. We would love to see more Funeral Directors take us up on our offer of online notices.
